Queer Harmonies, classical music and conversationa
by Yvette
Join us for a night of passionate, sensual classical music combined with heartfelt, revolutionary interviews from queer, disabled, bipoc, neurodivergent musicians.
Our roundtable discussion will focus on the systemic, intersectional marginalisation faced by our performers in the conservatory and the wider classical music community. We will also speak on our efforts to reclaim classical music from its historical elitism, into a tool of our solidarity and a weapon of resistance.
Coffee, tea and snacks will be provided.
Our performers:
Yvette Guo (she/her) is a guitarist and activist from Singapore. She has a passion for bringing the transformative but niche medium of classical music to diverse and unfamiliar audiences as an expression of solidarity. She is currently a student at the Royal Danish Academy of Music, and manager of external communications at Folkets Hus. Besides traditional concert venues, she has played at community spaces like Bumzen and Diakonissestiftelsens Hospice.
